Newtown into a "New Town"

December 14, 2012, our lives were changed. New town, Connecticut was the center of our attention for weeks. Our eyes were glued to the screen, we listened to and saw the heart-wrenching story of dead, innocent children who would not live to see another Christmas. We saw the tears of a community, paralyzed with shock. They tried to absorb the news that the second deadliest school shooting occurred in their small, seemingly safe town. "Will they ever be the same?" some of us asked. No. No. No. Newtown will never be the same. How can a city that was so simple, so safe ever turn their lives around after grasping what just happened in their community? Can any of us imagine the agony, the pain, that the parents endure every time they put their child on that school bus, Not even knowing if at the end of the day, their child will get off and come back home? Will Newtown ever be the same? Or is Newtown just a "New Town?"
